			<title>Our song</title>
			<description>Sometimes,	just as our bodies seem	to fit so perfectly with each others,		with your chest against my back		and your arms wrapped around my waist			every edge and curve with a home,	our thoughts seem to run	along the same grooves of our minds		dance to the same rhythms..</description>

			<title>One More Minute, Please</title>
			<description>I woke up to your touch. Your fingers were gently caressing my cheek and your eyes were smiling just as softly. The warmth of the sheets along with the sensations of your calloused hand was hypnotizing, and I felt myself dozing off again.&amp;nbsp;You said my name, but I was so comfortable that all I co..</description>

He followed where my eyes had been laying for the past two minutes and looked back at me with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. &amp;ldquo;Oh?&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;Shut up.&amp;rdqu..</description>

You had one arm outstretched on the steering wheel and the other resting on the open window, seemingly unfazed by the slow moving vehicles as you rocked out to the radio. I couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but stare with a stupid little..</description>

It's simply frustrating.You are in my favorite song that I can no longer listen to because those lyrics and that chord progression just happen to form your image.You are in my evenings, my late nights that turn into mornings.
